1/2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. cinnamon

1/2 t. all-spice

orange food coloring (optional)

1.  In a medium sized measuring cup, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and allspice.

2.  Combine eggs, buttermilk, butter, pumpkin, sugar and salt in large bowl. Mix well. Add dry ingredients. Mix in orange food colour to desired liking (if you want orange pancakes for Halloween).

3.   In preheated skillet, pour about 1/4 c. batter. Once you start to see bubbles form in your pancake it's time to flip it. Continue until you've made all of your pancakes.  

--makes about 16-18 medium sized pancakes.

The pumpkin flavor in these pancakes are subtle.  They are good to eat plain as well.  The syrup is such a fun addition to this flavor pancake, but it would taste great on any pancake/waffle/french toast.  Try!
